Rays of hope
Chapter One
A small yacht sitting out in the harbor of San Francisco bay. Three young undercover agents had been keeping an eye out on a possible Russian sleeper passing off Intel to those paying for this Intel to any neutral country willing to start an incident with the United States.
One agent having been called in to help on the undercover operation. Scarecrow of IFF not liking the idea of being thrown into a case with nothing to show for it.
Himself and Amanda going along with leaving their six-month-year-old home with Dottie and other members of IFF. Even Billy had taken a liking to watch him whenever possible.
Sitting on the deck of the Sparrow some five hundred feet from the one yacht they were supposed to be watching.
Currently, there were four white males with two on deck in bathing trunks getting in some rays of the sun, while the other two were talking with a special courier arriving with special intel from a San Francisco Embassy.
Scarecrow and Amanda laying down on the lounge chairs soaking up the sun with the suntan lotion that she had applied. She had noticed that another smaller boat coming into the harbor was going to moving up close to the Cypress. Two of the males had thrown the ropes over to the one that was on board typing the ropes in order to get abroad the vessel.
"Did you get it, Yuri?" Summers age 45 years of age needed to ask the question.
In a conflicting voice. "Yeah, I was able to get it Summers. However, I don't think that the boss is going to be liking it nevertheless," he says with a tone...
"Come abroad already. I don't wish to have you standing out into the open all that long with the number of boats in the harbor." Summers had to say to the courier.
He climbs over while Scarecrow with his special glasses over his eyes to keep the sun out of his eyes. "He's coming abroad, Amanda. I suggest you try sending a text to Billy to let him know that the courier arrived.
She decided to get up and stretch by heading down below by sending the text to IFF. She walked over to her husband for a moment to bend down to kiss him onto the lips. "I love you, Lee," she said with a smile before heading down below.
And in the meantime ...
Doctor Connors of the San Francisco Embassy was waiting for Yuri in regard to the military stronghold in Syria and Iranian rebels. There were stories that a number of American children and women mostly students studying communications.
Yuri was greeted by the doctor drinking scotch while his wife Ga was talking to him. When the courier knocked to let them know that he was here. "Doctor Connors it's been confirmed for the most part with well 10,000 troops readied for the Syria government," Yuri said anxiously.
"Fine. I will make sure I send the wire transfer to your account within the hour. So make sure to check it with the call Yuri. Now I suggest you get out of here with another shipment of high-grade drugs and weapons that will be arriving without the Coast guard to stop the vessel to head for the harbor.
Yuri left for the top part of the yacht to head back to the Embassy. But for now, after giving Dr. Connors the Intel along with a small explosive that was placed in an area that no one will be able to notice.
Dr. Connors had opened the small vault using the combination. He was able to place the file inside and locking it again. While needing another one of his drinks.
Scarecrow standing enjoying the blowing of the wind, while his wife Amanda coming up from the lower cabin after sending the text message.
"Anything from Billy?" he said with taking a sip of his iced tea. he noticed that the courier was leaving the yacht. While Lee had looked at the watch on his wrist telling him that it was time for the reliefs to take over with the return of Francine and Robert working again for IFF.
"Nothing really Lee," Amanda said with a yawn feeling tired and hungry. Hopefully, Francine and Robert will be arriving soon.
"Hello! Anyone still awake?" Francine had to say with a broken smile, while Robert dressed in his swim trunks with plenty of suntan lotion to show off his chest and legs.
Lee whistled as Francine told him to knock it off.
"What did you get on the wrong side of the bed or something?" Lee cried out when all of a sudden there was an explosion coming from the yacht they were watching undercover. They had to cover their heads with debris flying all over the area with flames flying ...
Amanda had gotten on the cell-phone to call 911 and the coast guard in regard to the yacht. "What the hell do you think happened Scarecrow?" Robert had to ask with seeing the black smoke and flames steaming up. Amanda said the following...
"911 and the Coast Guard are on their way. Lee, do you think that the courier might have had something to do with it ?" Amanda had to ask the importance of the question.
"Possible. But we will be needing to speak with Billy as to why they will do this in the first place. Does it look like the harbor police are here as well? Don't say anything other than the fact we were here to enjoy the day everyone?" Lee said with a Lt. Jones Henley showing his badge.
"Jesus Lee I should have known your people would be here on-site?" Lt. Henley said with the harbor police.
"For your information Jonesy it seems to have someone being a courier earlier came to speak with someone before heading back out. We figured that this courier might be involved. If you like to take a look at the photos taken?" Lee pulled out his cell-phone to show the eight photos taken of the courier.
"Are you able to get an ID. on the courier?" he asked with Robert seeing the Coast Gaurd and firetrucks to try and put out the flames.
"Not yet Lt. Henley. When we do I will be sure to have IFF cooperate with your department." Lee said.
"Fair enough buddy." he cried out to continue on with his investigation having been with the harbor police for over 15 years and working with Lee a few times over the years.
